There is always a chance, but it doesn't look good for the foreseeable future. Why retrain someone back when you'll just have to kick another guy out for his "alpha" tour. Mobility is over manned, RPA is undermanned, especially in new mexico. Exactly why 18X and 11U are blacked out for VSP, RIF and every other program. At least big blue is keeping their promise to the UPT directs. Not so for the rest of us. The black hole is hard to overcome just like everyone said when they started pulling from other 11X. 11Fs have a chance, as they are predicted to be short soon.
